I commend the woman. She stood up against that blue wall and spoke against what she thought was wrong. And the PB continues to trickle down into those communities that say "I never thought that would happen here".

That's why they don't want to be filmed. If people actually realized what the police ARE, they would not stand for it. So far, people figure the benefits outweigh the cost. A few brutal assaults, murders and rapes by cops seems like a small price to pay for the general protection they provide, just so long as you're not the victim. But with more video showing what cops are on a regular basis, people maight actually wake up to the fact that cops are just another gang on the streets, except that tMore..hey have the support of the government and training to make them extra violent and unreasonable. One day people are going to rise up against them. The question is who has more bullets.Less..

I'm not patting myself on the back and you are absolutely right...most countries are screwed up too....but why does this rich one, with all the wonderful laws and rights it supposedly has, have to be so screwed up too?

She will get picked up by some other department. Good on her for making the right decision others will see it that way too. There are probably PDs that would love to have someone like her on their force.

"Couldn't find whole story, apparently though she is being fired for doing what is right. not surprised by this happening in America, land of the free my ass."

If you don't know the whole story, why would you draw conclusions? That seems awfully ignorant to me.

First of all, when someone starts a "news story" by saying, "Too often we show you cop beat-downs.....", there is a good chance there is this is either not a reputable news agency or it is a neMore..twork or reporter with an agenda.

Even in this news story, they say the mother of the mentally ill man called the police to take her son to a hospital. The police are used for taking mentally ill people to the hospital ONLY if this mentally ill person is a danger to himself or others.

Those cops didn't just jump on the guy and use force for NO reason. Something prompted them to do that, but we don't have their side of the story do we????Less..

That might be true....but what if that one cop is not right. Cops aren't perfect. They do make mistakes as you well know. A lapse in judgement can manifest itself in many different ways, that could include officer tasca's actions.

As the Ridgefield Park police arrive on an assistaMore..nce call, Tasca informs the man that he'll be transported to a nearby hospital, and he responds angrily, telling the officers to get off his property as he turns and walks away.

One of the officers tackles Sharp. His mother, Tara Sharp, can be heard yelling "Get off my son," and the video, though grainy, shows a struggle between the man and the officers.

Tasca described the incident as "excessive force" and attempted to intervene.

"One officer jumps on top of him, and then the other officer starts punching him in the head," she told NJ.com outside her hearing Tuesday. "There was no reason for it."
-----------------------------------

First of all, those two male officers were from another agency who were called there after the fact. On their arrival, it was Tasca who told them that the guy was required to go to a hospital for mental evaluation. By law, if a person is deemed a danger to himself or others, you can force that person to undergo 72 hour mental observation at a hospital. When this happens, officers are allowed to use reasonable force if this mentally ill person is combative or assaultive, in order to protect that person and others around him, from causing great bodily injury or death.

For Tasca to decide that the guy is a danger to himself or others and then just want to let the guy go, and go into the house to possibly retrieve a weapon for that matter, is dangerous.

When a person is deemed a danger to himself or others, you cannot simply let him/her walk away like that. What if the guy walked into the house, got a gun and started shooting? What if the guy had killed himself or someone else when you could have stopped it by merely grabbing the guy and handcuffing him? Then people would be screaming bloody murder because the cops did nothing.

As far as the mother yelling, "get off my son!" I could care less about that. It happens ALL the time to cops out there. Someone calls the cops on a friend or family member because of a domestic dispute or assault. When the cops try to take the person into custody and a fight ensues, the family member pisses backwards.Less..

@ArrestU Shut the fuck up, I am sure you are either a piece of shit cop, or related to one, which is why you are being a white knight faggot here. A fucking young boy who is mentally unstable needs to be beat like that? Do you know that the jobs that the most sadistic people take in America is Law enforcement? Also, Do you see the cops take a moment to think about what they do? no, they just run right it. Also, the mother doesnt know the rules for police bring someone to a hospital. She was freaMore..king out and didnt know what to do. 2 grown man trackling and striking a young boy, there is NO justification for it. Of course, being a cop you will defend to the end the action of other pig mother fuckers, but watch... when the hammer finally comes down on you guys EVERYONE will see what scum bag cowards most of you really are when your asses are on the line and you start throwing all of your "Brothers in law" under the bus to save yourself. The protection you guys offer eachother isnt because you understand each others predicaments because a real cop would never recognize this as good law enforcement. Only the thug, law bending, scum bags that now infest most of our police stations across America. You stand up for these guys because I am sure you are just as pathetic as both of them and would do the same thing, that or you truly believe what they did was in no way wrong which isnt something you can be helped with. thats what happens when it only takes 2 years of college to get a job with all the responsibilities that a cop has, idiots become cops. my rant is over, i just want to remind you of whats going to happen when the hammer comes down on you police. it will happen, that is garunteed and i want you to think about me when your partner throws you under the bus and sends your ass to jail just to save himself. when the "thin blue line" vaporizes.Less..

@ArrestU
WHO THE FUCK DEEMED HIM AS DANGEROUS YOU DUMB PORK FUCK?! His mother called to have him transported to the hospital. she did not deem him as dangerous, he clearly had underlying emotional problem that have been dealt with before. you are just talking a whole lot of bullshit that a cop would talk to try and justify your actions, alls rules put in place because you pathetic cops love to use as much force as possible because you cowards can bend the laws and then if someone does anything More..back you can royally fuck them in their ass and send them to jail for the next 6 years. its like being in school with a fucking prick in your class. except He can sit and be a dick and an asshole all he wants and when you finally do something back you get kicked out of the school while he sits in the principals office saying " i was just trying to do my school work" that is the kind of shit cops are all about now adays. as for the cops deciding he needs to go to a mental hospital, none of them are doctors, therefore none of them are qualified to determine whether or not someone needs to go to a mental hospital(they went to 2 years of college probably at a community college for christsake!) you clearly are a complete fucking idiot cop arrestu and karma will bite you in your bacon ass some day.Less..

Showing your true colors....look at you. Thanks for that. For the record, I am no cop. I work around them often in my profession though and I have an excellent perspective on matter such as these.

When you want someone taken to the hospital, you don't call the police......unless it is someone who has a potentially dangerous mental issue. A perfect example is 5150 of the Welfare and Institutions code in California. Every state has this law, though it may be under a different codMore..e section.

Cops have the authority to detain and arrange for transportation of such person to a facility for a 72 hour mental observation.

You should probably do your homework before you rush to judgement.

Anyways, you proved to me you are a hater and you are biased. Have a good day! :-D

P.S......if you actually read my responses in their entirety, you would not have to ask so many questions.Less..
